I really f**king love this colour.
More tragic having a plate that actually matches the car imo 😂. Get it onQuestion for CS, the ultimate arbiters of taste....
I still have 'P25 CUP' on retention from when I had my old RS250.
Given the lack of connection between Ford and anything 'Cup', is it just a bit tragic to consider putting this on the Focus?
I probably should have phrased it as "an appropriate level of tragic given my previous choices".More tragic having a plate that actually matches the car imo 😂. Get it on
Praise from Caeser!That tyre will be sound
Your car seemed to go really well on track. I jumped in with my mate and he was like "I'm getting f**king gapped by a family car"🤣
Nah glue it back downPraise from Caeser!
Though I'm still unclear on whether the superglue is a recommendation or a joke. I still can't figure this place out.
Yup!Nah glue it back down
I'd only replace it if the cords were exposed or if it was causing massive vibration issues. It's only an outer tread block. I'm guessing that's on the front left wheel?🤣
Mine didn't. Last year with the PS5s on the Fiesta I thought I had four destroyed wheel bearings leaving the track, at least until I got to the dual carriageway and shed a few pounds of it at speed.Doesn't that kind of pick up cause vibration issues?
Okay, so the car survived CSF, but I'm not so sure about the tyres....
Fronts appear to now be on 3mm (down from 5mm) and rears on 4mm (down from 5mm) but the wear on the front is more pronounced on the outside edge of each 'band' (?) so the effective treat might be a little less.
Are these good for a few months still or are they needing to be replaced immediately?
(interestingly they had hardly any pick-up from the track, unlike my PS5s last year)

Rubber cement arrives this afternoon. Obituary in the morning.be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Lovely motor that, proper colour
I was surprised that it didn't as I got home expecting it to all be gone tbh. Most of it is still stuck on and M cars aren't exactly known for their smooth ride...Doesn't that kind of pick up cause vibration issues?
Don't think it's available in my size yet frustratingly.There are PS S 5 now which replace the PS4S (dunno why they messed around with the naming of them 😖) to also consider.
That's the way I'm leaning at the minute. Might be naive but I'd like to get 2yrs out of them (probably 8,000 miles total and 2 x CSF afternoon sessions) and they seem to review quite well.Cant go wrong with michelins imo.
Yep, same size and that's a hell of a good price! Only problem is it's a 5hr round trip to have them fitted by the looks of it....Wait for Costco Michelin offers. I presume yours has 235/35/19 like mine. I paid £450 for PS4S which was a bargain thanks to their deals.

Whichever option is the best deal tbh. People talk about tyres like they’re about to go out and qualify for Monaco and adjust the psi on one corner by 0.5 to help turn in.View attachment 1754573
Rubber cement and sandpaper has certainly made it look prettier but I'm worried it's more of a cosmetic repair than anything else. Might be time to start shopping for new tyres.....
Currently looking at:
PS4Ss - Seem like the standard do-everything tyre but perhaps getting a little old now?
SC7s - Newer tyre but very similar performance to the PS4Ss
PZ5s - Very new and seemingly the best performing tyre around, but terrible availability
Any strong opinions on the forum or, for someone ham-fisted like me, are they all much of a muchness?
And as a PS, a lovely shot from CSF from the TR photos:

Bit gutted I didn't get snapped coming over the crest of the hill as that's always a great shot.

The reality is, 99.9% of us couldn’t say which is better if we back to back tested them. What we end up doing is comparing a worn out tyre with a brand new one and noticing the difference, forgetting the old ones were past there best.

Those are the overall results of the evo tyre test. I’m calling anyone that says that can definitively tell the difference between the top 6, a total liar. You aren’t Schumacher. You are, full of shite 😂
All of the decent tyres will be more than good enough.
I think wear, is one of the only things that’s easy to compare with tyres.All I can say is the Conti sport contacts I had once wore quicker than my patience with the BMW.
That's what I was hoping someone would say. I always get that FOMO by not making the 'best' choice, but if it's all super marginal, that's great.Whichever option is the best deal tbh.

Do not f**king @ me if you miss an apex on the way to Sainsbury’s.That's what I was hoping someone would say. I always get that FOMO by not making the 'best' choice, but if it's all super marginal, that's great.
Apexes are those things with cones that go wooshing past in the distance right?Do not f**king @ me if you miss an apex on the way to Sainsbury’s.
